It's such a burning and controversial issue, even the video has been removed!

The plot thickens....

Maybe the school tie turned into a snake and ate the OP?

I never kept my tie on after school.

But I kept mine on! Which is better? There's only one way to find out...FIGHT!!!

I kept mine on but I always loosened it to look cool

At our school it was all about the size of the knot....the bigger the better

This is going to keep me awake all night now

Same, big loose ties is how most of us wore our ties.

My guess is Lucas took Lauren's tie, to add to his tie collection which he used to strangle his victims.

Well thanks you lot. Just when I stop having recurring nightmares about this it gets bumped to the top of the forum.

I wonder why TJ always has his school tie done smartly and Liam's is always loose, I wonder who's decision that is?

Well you're not going to be TIEd after this news.

Rumour has it that Newman had lined this up as the Xmas day storyline.

Ties going AWOL could be a groundbreaking SL when you think about it...

The mystery deepens. We must keep this thread going until all loose ends are tied up.

(Sorry, I'll get my coat...)

Under Santer, the tie would be axed to make way for more Brannings.

Under BK, Ronnie would steal the tie leading to an explosion, 4 deaths and a tidal wave.

Under Newman, a week of episodes of Poppy and Fatboy searching Dots house for the tie. In Tiegate.

Under DTC, no one would mention the tie.

Time to bring back DCI Marsden to investigate this.

BIB -

Newman should've done Tiegate while she had the chance. What a missed opportunity!

School Tie-Gate

Under DTC, the tie would be a Carter relative

And they should name him
Tierone Carter

Brilliant

Perhaps this is one of DTC's big storylines. Ronnie returns to manage the R&R, Phil gets back at her for landing him in it with Carls death by deciding to sell the club.

Shirley makes a phone call, and two days later the tie turns up with a million quid in cash. Cue the reveal when the tie opens the club, Shirley is arguing with Phil:

Phil: "What's it to you Shirl?! It's just a bloody tie."

Shirley: "Everyone, meet my other brother that has never been mentioned. Tierone Carter."

Sharon: "FFS Phil, why on Earth don't you learn?! If the surname is Carter then it's definitely one of her siblings."

I'm sure MI6 are working round the clock to solve the mystery of the superfluous after-school tie. They'll be taking her in for questioning soon, I'd imagine.

If there are any MI6 personnel reading this please give me a job. I'll be ace!
